AARYAN NAIR
Description: Aaryan Nair is a Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate student at City Tech. He is currently a CRSP Research Scholar at the Composite and Bio-materials Lab, with Professor Dr. Akm Rahman. He is keenly interested in the field of material science and radical sustainable energy principles. At present, he is working with Professor Rahman on Fly-Ash Geopolymers as an alternative to conventional building materials such as concrete. This would result in the dual proposition of re-using large-scale industrial waste and reducing CO2 emissions, with the impact of reducing our collective global footprint.
